DAVIE

Debate over The Commons expected to draw big crowd

Supporters and opponents of The Commons, a proposed mixed-used development in western Davie, are expected to mobilize at Town Hall tonight as the Planning and Zoning Board debates a request for a land use change by developer Turnberry Associates.

Town officials are setting up a tent outside Town Hall, 6591 Orange Drive, and police will be on hand for the 7 p.m. meeting.

The proposal calls for a 2 million-square-foot, western-themed project, off Interstate 75 and Royal Palm Boulevard, with horse trails, hotel, restaurants and shops.

The 152-acre development is supported by business groups, but neighbors and Weston officials are vehemently opposed, citing traffic, noise and environmental concerns.

The planning board's recommendation is non-binding.

The Broward Sheriff's Office has identified a homeless man killed in a hit-and-run accident in Deerfield Beach Oct. 30, but deputies are still searching for the driver and car involved.
